Thanx Juan for sharing this beautiful vid - two graceful landings too!! Wish we had some of your good weather here. It's gale force with yellow warning from Met office today.... well it can't last for ever...our day will come...

We have a small farm pond at our flying site with no wind it takes most of the pond for take off. However we had about 15mph+ and take off was no problem. Point it into the wind hold full up power up clear the prop wash neutral elevator and off the water in just a few feet.

Landing just like a bush plane, full flap hold power to clear the end of the pond and set it down. The only scary part was turning on the pond, had to be very carfull to not get cart wheeled by the cross wind on taxi back.
